To the Editors of the Transcript:
Heedlng not the oft quoted words of ad.

west. young man." by the late Horace
Greedy. your correspondent, two years
ago, came east. and. by the way, has no
cause for regret For ten long years my
face was familiar to nearly all the people
of Austin and Mower county. and it IS
but natural that among those acquaint-
ances are loved ones whose memory is
yet dear to me and in that thread of
friendship is entwlned a tie which can
never be broken. Perhaps have ene-
mies-and who has not-for it is truly
said that 'the man who makes charac-
ter, makes foes" But above all these
shortcomings, there wells up in my
heart pleasant thoughts of those love IN
the grand state of Minnesota.
And now what can say to interest
your readers in Lyle. Leroy, Grand
Meadow. Taopi and Dexter? The west
needs mole farmers to till the soil, and
to all such Minnesota yields rich re-
ward. To this class of people she offers
great inducements, greater than any east
ern state; but to the mechanic and artist,
the east has the preference.
In many respects Cleveland is a great
city. In art, manufacturing, in educa.
tional facilities, in ancient and modern
historical trophies, she claims q share.
In her beautiful and spacious public park
is statute of Com. Perry, who won his
famous victory on Lake Erie, Septem Der
10, 1918. Near by is cannon captured
by him in that encounter. At Lake View
Cemetery, in the city vault, are tempor-
arily placed the remains of President
James A. Garfield. 1 was out there q
short time ago, and saw the casket which
contains the remains. Fresh flowers
were about the coffin and above it are
the stars and stripes. The beautiful
monument to his memory, situated on in
elevated spot Of ground, is not yet com.
pleted. When completed it will cost

CLASS OF 's7.

The Baccalaureate Sc rmon at the Con-
gregational church Monday evening I'd
the graduating class of 1887, delivered by
Rev. Stanley was full of good thoughts
and advice, He congratulated the class
on the success they had achieved and the
honors they were to receive. To 9radu-
ate from high school or college is
truly mark of distinction and honor,
but they should guardagainst a mistaken
idea of many students when they gradu-
ate, that they have attained the sublime
degree of knowledge, while the facts are
they have only laid the corner stone OF
their educational editicc. The great fu-
ture is open before them, and will de-
mand men and women of greater skill
than the past. Places of honor and fame
are in store for some one and they can
only be obtained by study and hard
work. =. "'@,,
One thing TO be regretted is the fact
that 80 few boys are found in these grad
uating classes. This is net as it should
be. The boys should be kept at school
until they have at least attained nigh
school course.
The sermon was good one, an.l NANNY
outside the class could take the teaching
of the. discourse themselves, aad profit
by giving it thought and consideration.
Miss Sherwood, Miss Johnson, Mr..
Anderson and Davidson made the music,
which is sufficient guarantee as to the
quality, and comment is unnecessary.
The graduating exercies and presenta-
ton of diplomas will be held at the Opera
House tomorrow evening at o'clock.

BULL BEEF IN BOLOGNA.
The Kind of Meat that Plump and Seductive
Looking Sausage is Made OF.

''Yes, bulls are really sold in the Indianapolis
market for beef sometimes, but not here oftener
than in other Cities" said a livestock buyer to q
Journal reporter, in answer to . question re-
garding the sale of bad meats. ''It gives the
average meat eater the nausea to suggest that he
is likely to get hold of it, but there arc few per-
sons in the world who have not eaten bull meat
and If there are ever times when they relish
good old bologna sausage they prefer it. with
out. however, knowing what it is they like"
"Is bologna sausage made out of bull meat"
''The best bologna is and people who buy
any other kind are not satisfied with their pur-
chase. Whyf Simply for this reason-when
bologna is made OF the kind of beef that Is pre-
ferred for steaks and roasts, it shriuks, and no.
body likes shriveled bologna. The bologna that
contains plump meat and swslls out 20 seduc-
tive proportions is made OF bull beef. Butchers
who know how to please their customers use bull
meat exclusively in making their bologna sau-

Frances Wonderful New Rifle.

The Lebel rifle, the new arm with
which the French infantry will be
supplied before next spring, is, ac-
cording to all accounts, wonder, and
several models Of the gun which have
been received here have excited great
interest. The new rifle is known by
the name of its inventor, Lebel, and is
smaller and lighter than the rifles now
in use; the French soldiers call it ''the
little gun" The most authentic de-
scriptions given to the gun agree in
attributing to it carrying power be-
yOnd that of any rifle heretofore in
use The models received in New
York are not known to be accurate
copies of the Lebel gun, and expert
mentS with them are impossible,
owing to the fact that the powder used
is a secret compound of which the
French Government has the monopoly.
According to all accounts the Lebel
gun will carry its bullet more than a
mile and a half, and with a more
certain aim than has been possible
with ordinary rifles. The bore Of the
gun is very small, and the ball, which
is of steel and sharply pointed at one

thousand revolutions a second. In the
tests made by the French Government
this bullet has penetrated brick wall
eight inches thick at distance of 500
yards; it will 60 through any kind of
armor which can be worn by soldiers,
and at distance of more than a mile
will pass through man as easily as
at ten PAGES. The gun has no recoil
under fire, and the powder gives out
no smoke whatever. 1t has been said
that the powder used must be a type
of the smokeless hunting powder al
ready in the market, but this is denied
by the inventor, who says that he uses
an entirely new compound. The Lebel
gun is, of course, repeater, and the
cartridges are so small that each
soldier carries 220rounds of ammuni-
ton, as against 116 rounds, formerly
considered the maximum. - ECeniug

Mrs. NJ. A. Dauphin, of Philadelphia, is
we'll known to the ladies of that city
from the great good she has done by
means of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. She writes Mrs. Pinkham of
recent interesting case. ga young mar
ried lady came to me suffering with a
severe case of Prolapsus and liberation.
She commenced taking the compound
and in two months was fully restored. In
proof of this she soon found herself in an
interesting condition. Influenced by
foolish friends she attempted to evade
the responsibilities of maturity. After
ten or twelve days she came to me again
and she was indeed in most alarmin g
state and suffered terribly. I gave her a
tablespoonful of the Compound every
hour for eight hours until she fell asleep,
she awOke much relieved and evidently
better. She continued taking the Com
pound, and in due season she became the
mother of a fine healthy boy. But for
the timely use of the medicine she be-
lieves her life would have been lost.

There are very few men who do not
pride themselves on always having the
correct time; and wonderful and delicate
mechanisms are devised to enable them
to do so. But the more delicate chro-
nometer is made, the more subject it be-
comes to arrangement, and unless it be
kept always perfectly clean, it soon loses
its usefulness. What wonder, then, that
the human machine-so much more deli
cate and intricate than any work of Man
should require to be kept thoroughly
cleansed. The liver is the handspring
of this complex structure, and on the
impurities left in the blood by a disor-
dered liver, depend most of the ills that
flesh is heir to. Even consumption (which
is lung -scrofula), is traceable to the i'm
perfect action of this organ. Kidney
diseases, skin diseases, sick headache,
heart disease, dropsy, and long cata-
logue of grave maladies have their origin
in torpid, or sluggish liver. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, by establish
ing healthy, normal action of the liver,
acts as a cure and preventive of these
diseases.

A Monte CarIo Sensation-

I remember that during one of my
visits, when the weather was excep-
tionally hot, cab horse, after canter-
ing up the hill of Monte Cr1sto, fell in
fit at the Casino door. 1t was neces-
sary to kill the horse, and when the
carcass had been removed some blood
remained on the gravel. A few mo-
ments later a French newspaper cor
respondent came up, and perceiving
the blood, Immediately concluded that
somebody must have committed sui
eide. The horror Of the imaginative
journalist was considerably intensified
by the approach of director of the
Casino, who with the greatest uncon-
Germ, walked on the blood stained sand
and, unmoyed, entered the gaming
rooms. A few hours later the press of
most Of the capitals of Europe re-
echoed with the heartrending story of
the young man who, having lost in a
few hours at roulette the entire fortune
his father had taken a lifetime to &C
cumulate, blew his brains out at the
very doors of the Casino. But the di-
rectors, unmoved by the ruin they oc-
casioned, actually trod in their victims
blood. Their consciences were so
hardened by perpetual crime they had
not even the decency to remove the
blood with which their boots were be-
spattered. Memphis A0dl0nche.

Transplanting Evergreen Shrubs.

Many failures occur from lack of
proper treatment at transplantinG
There is no more beautiful shrub of
this kind, than our native Laurel"
Improperly so called, as it is not
LaureD, KdlmiG ldttoiid, also called
."Calico Bush" 1t is very rarely seen
in cultivation, and there is u general
belief that it cannot be transplanted
from the woods, but if we would have
it in our grounds. we must get nursery
grown trees. We know of a great adj
mirer of this shrub, who imported it
from an English nursery, while it grew
by thousands within few miles of his
place. Yet this shrub can be trans
planted as readily as 4 willow, if one
will, at transplannng it, cut it back
to remove every leaf. This appears
like severe treatment. but unless one
will cut the beautiful shrub back 10 a
naked stem, he had better leave it
where it grew, for it will surely fail.
Treated thus, success is certain rs
with any other shrub. In. due time
the naked stem will break" pro-
ducing IN abundance of new shoots,
and by autumn will be supplied with
abundant foliage. Having done this
and seen it done by others, it may be
tried with full confidence of success.
We have no doubt that other shrubs of
this class, if on their removal from the
nursery were treated in the same man
ner, would succeed more frequently
than they now do. Yet few have the
courage, when they pay dollar, more
or less, for shrub. to mutilate it in
this manner. Still it is worth trying.
